Everyone looked envious when they saw this.
Today is the Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether it is the Han Dynasty or not, as long as it can win the favor of the emperor, it is possible to rise to prominence.
However, they can only feel envious.
This matter is not something ordinary people can do.
The family must have power and wealth. Cao Duan teamed up with the local gentry to donate a thousand pigs and sheep to supply military supplies, which was a generous act.
Now that the emperor has come to Qizhou, he has no place to live. If you want to dedicate your mansion as a palace, you can't be shabby, right?
Opportunities are for those who are prepared and capable.
In Qizhou City, or even in the entire Shanxi region, there were not many people who could spare large houses for the emperor to live in. Cao Duan is one of them.
And some of the squires present knew it.
Cao Duan is still prepared.
This old boy was very well-informed and had long known that the emperor was going to move to Shanxi.
The Cao family may really be on the verge of success.
Along the way. When Wu Nian passed through the town, he received the officials and squires who came to pay homage, and then had a meal together.
To put it simply, it is to win people's hearts.
When you are new to a treasure land, you have to leave a good impression on the locals.
This time is no exception.
Wu Nian quickly went to the emperor Luanyu, and under the guidance of the Cao family, he moved to the Cao family compound.
"What a magnificent house." Wu Nian got off the Luan Yu, looked at the house in front of him, and praised it with a flash of light in his eyes.
I saw the entrance hall of the Cao family compound in front of me. Although it does not have the lions of powerful families, some details are exquisite and luxurious, and it covers a large area.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Cao Duan thanked him, his face showing glory.
The squires who came next showed envy. soon. Under the guidance of Cao Duan, Wu Nian entered the Cao family compound.
After entering the compound, Wu Nian praised him repeatedly. The courtyard is connected to the courtyard. This Cao family courtyard is not as grand as the mansions of powerful people, but it covers an extremely large area.
The King of Qi's mansion in the capital is not as big as this.
The Cao family also has strong organizational skills. His stay in the Cao family compound was a temporary decision. But look at the situation in the yard now.
The Cao family members apparently evacuated in an orderly manner. Instead, there were large numbers of armored and capable Ouchi guards.
Although I live here temporarily, I have daily meals and daily life.
Wu Nian was worried about leaving it to the Cao family.
The guards who go in and out are the imperial guards, and there are eunuchs and maids in daily life.
Wu Nian, led by Cao Duan, visited the entire Cao family compound. Then I came to the lobby and sat down.
Wu Nian asked Shi Xian, the governor of Shanxi, to stand up and introduce to everyone: "Exceptors, this is my Shanxi governor. He is also the number one scholar in my first division. Shi Xian. Shi Gong. Is your parent official."
"Master Shi."
When Cao Duan and other squires heard this, their faces suddenly became serious and they bowed to Shi Xian.
Parents.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The ones who can take charge now are the parents. The county magistrate is too small, the prefect is average, and the governor is too powerful.
Moreover, Shi Xian was the number one winner in the emperor's first imperial examination, so he must be deeply trusted. It is beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with him.
Faced with the attentiveness of Cao Duan and others, Shi Xian was slightly indifferent. Just give it a hand.
Cao Duan and others immediately looked at each other knowingly. This governor of Shanxi was not an easy person to get along with.
Wu Nian smiled and said: "I have many policies for Shanxi. They are all handed over to Shi Qing. You are all the mainstays of the local area. You must cooperate well with Shi Qing's work."
"yes."
Cao Duan and others responded respectfully.
Wu Nian was very approachable and talked a lot with the officials and squires present. When the time comes, eat with them.
Wu Nian had dinner with his ministers.
Qizhou officials ate together.
The squires ate together.
There are clear distinctions and strict hierarchies. But everyone who participated in the dinner showed a look of glory. This is a banquet given by the emperor, and many people can only ask for it.
After dinner, Wu Nian sent them away. He came to the lobby and sat down with officials such as Hojo Ushimasa and Ishiken.
"The Cao family is very powerful." Wu Nian took a sip of the tea made by the palace maid and said.
Everyone nodded in unison. Even in the entire China region, such a wealthy person was extremely rare.
Wu Nian just mentioned it casually and quickly put it down. He had nothing to do. He was just waiting for news from the envoy in the Cao family mansion.
After dinner, it was getting dark.
Wu Nian was tired after a long journey, so he asked the palace maid to take a medicinal bath, soaked his feet comfortably, and planned to go to the bedroom to sleep.
suddenly. The eunuch broke in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty. Lord Hojo wants to see you."
"Please come in." Wu Nian raised his feet, and the palace maid knelt to wipe them for him.
"Yes." The eunuch bent down, turned around and walked out.
After a while, Hojo Umasa walked in from outside, his expression a little strange.
"What happened?" Wu Nian asked strangely.
"Your Majesty, Cao Duan has sent a beauty. She is his daughter Cao, she is twenty-eight years old." Hojo Umasa replied respectfully.
"Haha. This old boy is really good at it." Wu Nian laughed, then shook his head, neither disgusted nor disliked. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Take the person to the bedroom."
"Yes." Hojo Umasa responded, turned around and walked out.
Wu Nian's harem had not many concubines, but not many. One more doesn't matter. Moreover, he did not have any concubines accompanying him on the journey from the capital to Shanxi.
Now I met someone who came to my door.
The maids looked at each other with jealousy in their hearts.
Liu Xiang is a very open-minded queen and is never jealous. This time Wu Nian moved to Shanxi, and the maids she selected for Wu Nian were all beautiful.
I thought that if one of them could get closer to the water and get the moon first, it would be a credit to the Wu family to give birth to a son and a half.
But along the way, Wu Nian did not get close to the palace maid.
Instead, when he came to Shanxi, he was seduced by Cao's daughter.
It's so sour.
Naturally, Wu Nian didn't know what these palace maids were thinking. After putting on his shoes, he left the room and went to the bedroom.
The door to the bedroom was closed, and there was a team of eunuchs and a team of imperial guards guarding the door.
Light shines through the papered windows.
Wu Nian opened the door with a calm expression and walked in with the maids.
The house is brightly lit.
Wu Nian came to the bed and looked at the girl sitting on the bed.
"It's really pretty." Wu Nian praised her appearance.
The girl is dressed up and lightly put on pink and white. Her appearance is very good, even among the beauties of Wu Nian's harem, she is ranked high.
In the Mood for Love, the tender ones can squeeze out water.
It just looks a little nervous.
Wu Nian waved his hand and asked the accompanying maid to step back. He calmly came to the girl, held her tender chin, raised her head, and asked, "What's your name?"
